Publication series

The Harvard Library of Early Ukrainian Literature is a publication series published by Harvard Ukrainian Research Institute as a part of the Harvard Project in Commemoration of the Millennium of Christianity in Rus'-Ukraine.[1] The publication was intended to include the main Ukrainian literary works from mid-eleventh century through the end of the eighteenth century. The project produced three subseries: texts corpus written in a variety of languages as facsimile, a corpus of English translations with introductory essays and commentaries, translations into modern Ukrainian language. Initially, each of the subseries was planned to result in 40 volumes.[2]

Set of published volumes

Series made available texts have been accessible only to select researchers because of geographical locations of manuscripts.[3]

The project was initiated and launched by Omeljan Pritsak in 1987, and was financed by donations from the Ukrainian diaspora in North America. The scientist was convinced that the project was a matter of national dignity and mobilized the Ukrainian community in America to support the research and publication on the occasion of the Millennium of Christianity.[4]
